    Well Estonia is not really a pop song. The rest of the album is really good. It actually sounds more like what Holidays in Eden could have been if produced differently. There is a bluesy mood to this album which make it really outstandinf compared to the rest of their discography. Only drawback is the mix and the mastering. They are really awfull, especially the drum sound
